Madison Valley Role Play

Damn dude, I'm about to be returning to my roots and shit. Mi papá is gonna be all sorts of pissed he slaved his ass off just so I could pick fruit and shit when the season starts. Or if I stand out in front of the Home Depot and see if anyone wants to hire cheap labor.

That's all sorts of bullshit.

I found a job. At a coal plant. Figures, huh? I work 8-4:30 Monday through Friday. They give you the whole weekend off!

Speaking of the money, it occurs to me to wonder:

Where is it coming from?

There's enough of us that it's tens of thousands of dollars, and this isn't a large town. Is it given to them by whomever brought us here (in which case I want a raise in my 'allowance', thanks) or is it from the actual town?

Nobody gives you money and a place to live for nothing. No one.

So what is this place, how did we get here, and what the hell do they want from us in return?
